Your meta snapshot? Bro, literally all you ever do is link Swim or Mobalytics' snapshot and summarize what everyone can read over there, without giving any noteworthy additional input.
And the best part is you're linking to and talking about a meta snapshot that's not updated for the newest update and therefore outdated and moot.
At least Swim's list is updated and tries to predict the actual current meta, even if he's "transitioned into a more casual player space".
You have completely misinterpreted my issue with making old cosmetics available again. My problem with it isn't that other people would get to use it but, but the fact I paid extra for something and was told that was the only price it was ever going to be available.
So 1 in 11 to hit go hard, and 0 percent chance to hit rummage when not in your colors
Ah yeah, I forgot about PnZ not being in the colors. I've been playing a lot of TF Fizz so I forgot that Go Hard is just not running PnZ. I still don't think Burblefish is a good card in the deck at the very least, it replaces Cursed Keeper so the deck now has better draws late against a better early game.
I was exited for the Patch actually expecting to not run into targon in 80% of my games but it was just foolish to think that a 1 mana nerf to Hush would make it any less used / rediculous
Since mf scouts got a pretty big hit the game shifted to a pretty control heavy state, a control state in which targon is still favoured by many players.
Can we just once have a meta without a massive proliferation of silence effects in it? Sure players will play silence all day if it's remotely playable simply because it has such a huge range of possible targets to counter.
Silence is an effect you simply can't properly play around other than not relying on buffs and effects.
This deckbuilding restriction is massive and is the reason why since Hush came into the game the game became less and less interesting to me.
Playing more heavily around certain cards became pointless.
To not get wrecked by hush you MUST resort to a relatively small subset of cards, the cards that that we see right now in the meta.
It is a little bit like Teferi, time reveler a card from mtg that dictated how to build an play the decks viable in standard by hard countering any deck relying on instant speed (fast/burst speed in LoR) spells.
As Swim already said: Hush will almost never trade down even at 3 mana and players will continue running it as a 3 of in any targon deck still and it seems like he was right about that.
Is there really no solution to this issue other than start playing more vanilla cards/etb cards?
He is on tf powerlevel and we know how busted tf is.
He stands just like tf for massive card advantage and given how good his tools are to slow down the game its no wonder that we currently have one big targon control fest in Runeterra.
Burrble fish generates a random 1 cost spell from 2 regions you are playing
So 1 in 11 to hit go hard, and 0 percent chance to hit rummage when not in your colors
This is the difference between theory crafting and understanding how cards actually work
Don't get me wrong TF go hard is a solid A tier list on mobalitics and it doesn't have a good finisher so jamming elusives is basically the only thing it can do but I wouldn't be surprised if we see Fizz variants far outperform by doing the same thing 10 turns faster.
If anything TF go hard should be leaning into kegs and Thresh/gangplank there's huge room for hard removal lists to thrive right now
There have been a few more decent community decks since, and I have also stumbled upon a 12 Win Paladin (pre Greatsword buff even). So credit where credit is due: Reddit thread. Should be interesting to try to replicate.
Like burbble fish really? Without suit up like get the F out of here with that jank
Wiggly Burblefish in TF Go Hard kinda good tho ngl. A cheap elusive unit that can potentially draw a Go Hard or Rummage. Seems like a card TF Go Hard would love a lot.
Also, the Mobalytics tier list is fairly outdated because that has not changed one bit since week 1 of Go Hard nerf. Swim's website used to look like that at one point as well. Not to mention the decklists given are Swim's decklist he uses on his site. Also in the first place, Swim's tier list is not the most accurate tier list seeing as how he literally uses high ranks only as his data.
But it's very strange of them to act like nothing has ever happened and not even address that officially in this announcement. That'll only cause some more confusion.
I’m sure you’re right, and I get it. I also get that he’s responding quickly on Twitter, but his words without more context just irked me and came off wrong. Maybe I interpreted it differently than intended because he’s already said stuff like giving players packs as rewards instead of gold is better because (paraphrasing) “it takes one complicated layer of decision making away”. So I came into the comment already feeling belittled as a dumb player that can’t decide how to spend my gold...
I had paid no money for Hearthstone since beta where you got a golden Mekkatorque for testing out real money in the shop, but wow, those Three Kingdoms portraits! Uther Guan Yu is amazing.
The Shaman hero power is uniquely RNG-based (summons in random order) and rather unintuitive (always a different totem; stops working after all 4) compared to the other hero powers. Ever seriously discussed changing parts of it?
The fact that it's different because of those things isn't necessarily a negative to us…
I would call Dean out on this - they have avoided features and mechanics that are less unintuitive than this for the sake of new players.
New player: What kind of totems does Shaman's hero power summon?
I really hope the pre-order heros do not become craftable. I would understand the other limited time heros becoming exclusive but even the bundle heros that were advertised as limited would feel bad to give away.
edit: Look, you would be pissed if you spent a ton on a product you were told wasn't going to be available again in the future just to find it available for cheap.
I got multiple preorder heroes and old cardbacks that havent returend(liek pandaria one) and in Wow cosmetics from mage tower/challenge modes.
and i HOPE and WANT the preorder ones to become craftable.
I want more people to be able to sue the cool portaits not less. And im against the Time limited stuff in general. The FOMO stuff.
